I Am Intentionally Avoiding the Obvious Vodka Reference

Police in the Baden-Württemburg city of Tuttlingen responded Tuesday to growing online chatter among teenagers that they could become intoxicated using the vodka tampons without having alcohol on their breath.

This is not true, police said, denying that it was an effective way to get drunk. They also warned girls that the alcohol could damage vaginal walls and increase the risk of infection. Boys have reportedly also been using tampons anally.

“I believe this is very dangerous,” head of a children’s clinic in Singen told southern German paper Südkurier last week. “For us this is a new thing.”

In early March a 14-year-old girl collapsed during a street festival in Konstanz, apparently highly intoxicated from using a vodka tampon, the paper reported.

What happened to kids sticking balloons filled with heroin in their orifices for money? Don’t these kids have standards anymore? Harrumph!

and again, how do they come up with this? Don’t tell me that one of those accidentally dropped in mommy’s vodka martini and THEN they used it anyway? I’m all for thrifty but that’s taking things a bit too far. I’m curious about the logistics too, but I’ll spare yall.

“The trend arose among teens in the United States, where it is known as “slimming.” But it has reportedly caught on in Scandinavia and other places where alcohol is difficult for young people to acquire. ”

So…it’s hard to get alcohol and when they do…the boys shove it up their butts and the girls soak their tampons it it. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH SCANDINAVIA?!?
